About Newton
The Mascot
Newton was a cat, just in the off-chance that you hadn’t noticed that from the picture. He was also the company mascot, resident hairball expert, chief morale officer and organizer of regular Friday-afternoon “skip out of work and chase around the little fuzzy mice” parties. We think if he knew how, he’d probably do all the accounting and paperwork too.
Newton enjoyed chasing the neighbourhood cats (as well as dogs, squirrels and birds — he never discriminated), himself and little balls of tinfoil. He also enjoyed breakfast, lunch, dinner and “tub-time”.
When he was not strutting around like he owned the place, he also enjoyed whatever music we were listening to or just lounging around all day pretending not to be interested in what we actually do here. We know he was though. He knows you are too… C’mon, fess up!
Why are we referring to Newton in the past-tense? Sadly, Newton passed away on December 19th, 2006 and we miss him very much.
